Three traditional 1960's wooden chalets nestling in the Gwithian dunes. The dunes overlook three miles of sandy beach which form part of St Ives Bay and run from Godrevy Lighthouse in the East, made famous by Virginia Woolfe's novel "To the Lighthouse", all the way to the wild birdlife haven of Hayle estuary in the West.

Godrevy Lighthouse

A fifteen minute walk through the dunes brings you to Gwithian beach, one of West Cornwall's best surfing beaches. With lifeguards and surf school it's a great place to brave the sea for accomplished surfers and beginners alike. The large wide beaches and rockpools make it a safe place for children and the more adventurous might like to jump in the "sheep dip", a naturally occurring deep rock pool. The dunes offer hundreds of secluded pockets of sheltered sand where you can while away the hours without ever seeing another soul.

The Three Shades of Blue chalets provide the perfect base for a break in Cornwall. Situated just over a mile from the small town of Hayle, these chalets provide an ideal location for a family holiday. The chalet site is secluded with open grassy areas for children to play safely within the site. Up on the dunes overlooking the chalets children, and occasionally adults, can be found digging holes or sliding down on tea trays and sledges. Its relaxed communal feel is a welcome alternative to some of the more crowded caravan parks elsewhere in Cornwall. There is a small friendly bar on the site which opens most evenings.

The Chalets

Each chalet sleeps 6 comfortably in two bedrooms: one double and one with a small double and two bunks. They have an open-plan kitchen and living area and a bathroom/WC. The kitchen has a cooker, microwave and fridge and enough utensils to see you through your holiday - but there are some great restaurants and pubs nearby if cooking doesn't appeal. The chalets are heated and insulated and each has a TV and DVD player for the odd rainy day.
